Graduate of the Month

Benjamin Nightingale - May 2025
Level 3 Diploma in Sports Massage Therapy
Background:
My background before starting sports massage was in the engineering sector, I am also a football coach so I knew there was a good correlation between being a sports coach and a sports massage therapist. I have a managed to integrate both and am able to attract people in both services.
How have you used your new qualification?
I have used my qualification to start my own business and I am growing week upon week, not just as a business but also as an individual being able to help people and also meet new people. Gaining not just clients, but friends in the process of building my career, is an amazing thing.

What did you think of the Level 3 Diploma in Sports Massage Therapy course you attended?
The training received from the SMA was excellent and gave me the confidence I needed to start my own business and career in something I enjoy! The business webinars are also an excellent tool that I think everyone should be watching if you are undertaking the sports massage course.
